Bond of Brothers, the winner of the Wildlife Photographer of the Year, by David Lloyd:⠀
“These two adult male lions, probably brothers, greeted each other by rubbing faces for 30 seconds before settling down. Most people never have the opportunity to witness such animal sentience.”
“Probably brothers”...
I mean, lions are notoriously homo-social so you never know
WOF thoughts about lgbt rep
Even though it’s not much im glad theres at least one gay character in wings of fire (umber) that’s actually canon (he deadass says in the book that he wishes another male dragon were his destiny) , that sort of restored my hope that there might be more in the future. I went into the books blind and I guess from cultural osmosis I thought that winter and qibli were gonna be a couple (due to shipart) but definitely not lol, so i didn’t have high expectations. (i dont blame tui for that at all tho, thats the fandoms fault)
It’s chill though, at least I now know there’s a possibility for more lgbt representation. I hope umber comes back and we learn more abt him (I just finished book 6, moon rising).
I also wanna learn more about Turtle, he’s one of the most interesting ones to me, purely because of curiousity for what he’s hiding, also he’s a likeable character. A good boi
Also let me know (without spoiling) if there’s any other (very canon, like explicitly stated) lgbt rep in future books! Im curious
Umber is cute.
I think it’s kind of lame that we have maybe what, five or six confirmed lesbian dragons and only one gay dragon? I mean, any representation is good representation but it seems a bit skewed.
It's late ramble time and I can't believe this needs to be said but like. There is no harm to headcanoning Spyro as asexual and only asexual. If you do not use the split attraction model asexuality can be functionally the same as saying you are gay or bi or straight. That is to say, a young straight boy would be saying "I like girls" not "I wanna fuck girls" so a young asexual kid would be saying "I don't like boys or girls" not "I don't like sex". And when I say young I mean like, puberty age, which the sources I've read put between 8-11 on average and state it's totally normal for kids to begin questioning what genders they like. Kids don't generally think about or care for sex, so obviously a kid isn't saying anything about their sexual preferences.
Now, if you see "asexual" and only that as a headcanon for a child and assume it says anything about that child or other children's sexual preferences, then you are sexualizing children. You are associating kids with sex/sexual situations because you can't divorce the idea of people liking no gender from how much people fuck or wanna fuck. That's a you problem. If you apply the SAM to children or asexuals every time you see the word "ace/asexual" then that's a you problem and not an ace problem.
Also, asexuality is not the default for kids because kids have no sexuality and asexuality is still a sexuality. Sexualities require self reflection and a lot of questioning about the genders they like that most kids aren't gonna do or care about so you cannot push any sexuality on them as the "default" because there is not "default" sexuality for kids. They don't have any and that includes asexuality by virtue of it requiring the same kind of thought and questioning other sexualities need to be recognized.
Now, I am all for people telling off others who claim Spyro is asexual because he doesn't fuck since 1) as a child he shouldn't be worried about sex anyway and 2) "doesn't fuck" is the wrong definition of asexuality. But you don't get to call asexuals bad for making a headcanon that doesn't even hurt anyone or sexualize children when y'all are the ones applying sexual attraction to minors the minute you see an asexual headcanon.
I just find it interesting how this fictional dragon is so often becoming the target of discussions concerning sexual orientation. I think part of is that Spyro doesn’t show much interest in the opposite sex in the original trilogy and AHT, inevitably prompting discussions as to why. Is he gay? Is he asexual? Is he aromantic?
The simplest answer of course is that he’s a kid. He’s not at a point yet we’re he’s looking for romantic relations. He just wants his beach vacation on Dragon Shores. Michael John said some interesting in a piece by Escapist Magazine:
“He first comes to grips with a changing relationship with adults, then understands the importance of friends, and finally explores alternative identities and the impending confusion of romantic relationships.“
To me, this means that the developers made a conscious effort to show that Spyro is still very much in the “figuring it out” stage.
This is balance that the original trilogy managed much better than the Reignited Trilogy, by the way. Oh and I really hope they don’t spawn him an appropriately aged female dragon in the next Spyro game, just to shut up the shippers. It’d be a bit predicable.
Anyway, In a sense I think it’s a good thing that these kind of discussions take place to begin with, especially since many of the kids in the Spyro fandom are still very much in the figuring out stage themselves and talking about these things openly is a good thing.
So what I’m saying with all this? Well that’s Spyro’s definitely gay.
Look at herrrrr oh my godddddd
No offense to anyone but I never understood how people find Elora so attractive.

WIP Wednesday, Week 7. I overexerted myself today @_@
Much of my strength and most of my diet is back to normal now. In mitigating much of those depressive feels from all that bedrest, I have given my wrists and especially my shoulder a lot of grief: I thought the WIP for Week 5 was monumental, but THIS is a telltale sign that I need to slow down, lest my carpal tunnel syndrome come back with a vengeance.
But all that aside, it’s no surprise to anyone now that I am in fact cross stitching Agent 9 the monkey from the Spyro the Dragon franchise. I’m taking on this colossal project for two reasons: He’ll be completed in time for my 10th anniversary for this insane hobby and he’ll stand as proof of my honed craft as compared to my dabbling pieces from a decade ago, and he’s going to be a gift to a very dear friend (whom is probably reading this, you know exactly who you are).
With all this in mind, my WIPs will start appearing in the Spyro tag, further legitimizing my existence in the fandom, as needles and thread are the only way I know how to produce solid content. Hey guys, how’s it going? Glad to be here!
Oh my, that’s ambitious! I dig it! I’m sure whoever you’re doing for appreciates the effort! And it’s gonna look rad as all heck when it’s done!
Lindar Headcannons!
Cuz y'all thirsty clock dad lovin’ babes needed it.
He is, again, passive-agressive, up to the point of giving you the ‘silent treatment’ if he is angry with you; depending upon how angry he is, he’ll do things such as ignore you, purposely maliciously comply with any requests, talk to everyone around you BUT you, and so on; he won’t directly convey that he is angry, as despite Lindar’s tendency to cause conflict, he actually hates it and wants to avoid it; he’s afraid of his feelings, and of expressing them.
If he has a crush on you, he’ll tease you constantly. This includes making friendly jabs at you, poking you, making fun of certain aspects of you that he actually likes (in a playful manner, of course), and then complimenting you after.
When Lindar was a hatchling, he went through a phase where he liked to play with baby dolls. He dressed them up, tried to feed them pudding, brushed their hair,etc. He even had names for them and tucked them in at night.
Despite his apparent intelligence, especially in clocks and horology…he can be a complete idiot at times. For example: “What was that? A mysterious, spooky noise from the dark ominous woods? I should investigate immediately!”
Lindar, despite scolding the hatchlings when they break things, secretly enjoys it when they come to him to get things fixed, whether it be a vase or a toy he tinkered; sometimes he and the hatchlings make little “covert deals”: one favor to get you out of trouble later, in exchange for you getting me out of trouble now.
When he shares a bed with someone, he has a tendency to roll around, taking all of the blankets and coverings with him, until he’s a smug little derg burrito; this is unintentional, however, and the next morning, he usually struggles to unwrap himself and has to roll out of bed.
He’s the type to make dad jokes and embarrass any kids that have anything remotely close to a child-father bond with him. One example of this is when Spyro brings friends over, Lindar brings up embarrassing childhood stories.
He is pretty vain about his looks, not in an extremely negative manner: he just knows he’s handsome and likes to look good.
He’s a huge flirt: being all debonair and charming and confident at first, until someone actually flirts back; then he breaks down into a flushed, squeaky, embarrassed mess.
I really really dig your head canon here
i had a dream agent 9 looked like this in the remake and i got really pissed
that all checks out
why are spyro fans so homophobic
im sorry for not expanding on this but
over the years ive seen a lot of spyro fans get super pissed over shipping any characters of the same gender and then say they just hate “yaoi” and “yuri” and aren’t actually homophobes.
which is the equivalent of saying you like loli or shota but you’re not a pedo.
I’ve noticed this too and I can imagine it has something to do with its younger demographic. The best way to counter it? Keep shippin Spur with the boys!!
my new fanfiction
moneybags teaches typing, gets shot, comes back and teaches multiplication. asmr, whispering, muffled screams of the damned meanwhile, spyro conjures up an evil spirit and is sent to the dark realm, an exact clone of the forgotten realms except sgt byrd has his disgusting toad looking model from a heros tale. spyros only chance at escape is to look in the mirror and say funny family guy moments 3 times, but he finds himself in love with his OWN CLONE. will spyro abandon his love and return home, or will my mom ground me from the internet again :(
fun but disappointing fact ive learned
every level in spyro 3 only loads assets needed for that level, so playing as the other characters in the wrong levels is probably impossible. i say probably because im 10% hopeful that there’s a way around this. i was able to play as sheila in sunny villa, only she was invisible and didn’t have her sound effects idk I can try digging deeper some other time
there’s a specific address slot in the rom that inputs the playable character’s model variable after a variable before it is switched (Spyro is 0, Sheila is 1, Byrd is 2, Bentley is 3, Agent 9 is 4 and Sparx is 7. Haven’t gotten around to seeing what Hunter’s is)
also each character has a different height variable, and there’s 2 variables that are always 1 for the playable characters, but 0 for Spyro. turning the 0s into 1s results in Spyro disappearing (and very hard to control) and doing vise versa w/ a playable character results in them turning into Spyro but only for a frame before flickering back replacing 1 characters model variable with anothers imediately crashes the game. (changing sgt. byrd’s E8 into agent 9’s AC) but for example, switching Sheila from 1 to 3 (Bentley’s number) just causes her to become stiff. they can still move, but there’s no animation.
I can keep digging but I think it’s impossible
i wish I knew this much about anything
cool more
when i die i want insomniac to lower me into my grave so they can let me down one last time
spyro t. dragon (via mrlaserblaster)
*crytypes an apology for drawing a ship i like*
(edit: fixed spyros arms)
wow! cute spyro characters holding up signs!
probably one of the worst things thats ever happened to me is that not only did agent 9s voice actor see this but he also retweeted it
why you guys bringing up the painful past :(
what is this a reference to?
One kind of glaring thing when taking the Spyro trilogy as a whole is how there are plenty of girl dragons among the baby dragons in Spyro 3, yet none of the adult dragons in the trilogy are female. It’s especially glaring in Spyro 1, where you rescue 80 dragons (well, 70-something if you don’t count the ones you rescue twice) and zero are female. I’m sure the reason was because they didn’t have any female voice actors for the first game, but that along with the fact that we see female dragons being hatched just begs the question of “Where do all the female dragons go?”
I would definitely be behind changing a good half of the dragons in the Spyro 1 remake to be female, but I’m 100% certain that would get morons shitting themselves and throwing tantrums of “SJWS RUINED MY CHILDHOOD!!!”
female dragons probably go off and explore, or hunt. like lions.
